I believe a lot of our rally and extreme outperformance the last three or four trading days is as the result of a bunch of excited Sanofi sales reps. Lots of experienced reps at that event, I'm sure, that was a very nice boondogle for them, the Aria in Vegas! I can't believe those reps just sit on their hands when they really like something, especially if there's a far more leveraged way to play it other than through Sanofi stock. I believe they have stirred things up, and I believe that many of them have networks of "investors" with whom they have "good" relationships for everyone's benefit.
I got banned on the other board, too, I think I just posted once, and can't even recall what I said, but I don't think OPC cares for me much and he knows the feeling has been mutual for years.

baba, this is what I've been saying. The reps, the docs, the nurses, the pharmacists, the patients, all of their family members and all of their close friends represent a huge pool of potential new investors. And it's just starting.
I'm in the "Booted Out Club" with respect to the other board too. I wear it as a badge of honor.

The power to ban, as a way to improve the message board experience, is unfortunately easily abused. I've been an admin on 3 investing boards over the past 5 years. Number of active members I (or any other mod) has ever purposely banned for any reason aside from posting spam: zero [Note: I added the "purposely" because one mod accidentally banned another mod not too long ago. Not to be outdone, though, about ten years ago on another board in a galaxy far, far away, I actually banned myself by accident! Wait, no, it was worse, I deleted my own moderator account by accident. Damn, why did I have to remember that...]

Wow! I hope you all don't boot me here. I would have to see psychiatric care if that happened. Will technosphere support Thorizine?

Baba, I agree with you about what you say above. I think now that the reps have the whole story we are going to see some positive action for a few weeks as the chatter spreads as that's what sales peple do best, talk... especially when they have money on the line...
And the long anticipated run-up to launch that I have been waiting for finally seems to be happening should benefit from all of the "new talk". I don't think we will see an official launch (accompanied by an announcement from Sanofi ) for two to three weeks or possibly four weeks as they allow for the soft launch to take hold and see if they have any issues the first week or two the reps begin to call on the docs. That's why I am calling this the "run-up to launch" as technically it is not the official launch imho (but actually I do believe it to be the real launch as A is now available)
In my experience in advertising sales for a major Television Network I have learned never to underestimate a sales person with a real product to sell. They are hungry, relentless and very imaginative in finding ways to get to clients and to get deals done when properly incentivized. Many sales people make more than their managers which has often been a topic of contention but nonetheless it is what fuels sales so it continues to be the way the business model works for the most part. And though I am speaking of television I believe the model is the same in most organizations dependent on the results of an internal sales force.

It would be interesting to know if, for a fact, Sanofi reps have been given the green light to officially pitch Afrezza to their docs. And if anyone can find that out, it's my buddy mannmade!

There's a thread titled "The reps are out promoting Afrezza" on the Yahoo board you may want to read. If "docfrezza" is legit, he's already been pitched. I just bumped it to make it easier to find.

All the $7/$8 puts that werent closed out in January's OPEX were assigned. Volume could be up on them closing their position out.

This soft launch seems like a good idea. Again I think Sanofi knows what it is doing.

PS: add me to the 'banned from the other proboard' list. I also did temporarily get banned from this board just before Adcom while travelling in South East Asia...

JPG, you were the unintended consequence of our banning large swaths of the planet on the basis of their being pernicious sources of spam-bots.

Does self banning count? I banned myself from YMB, and although some may say I may miss out on something (which anything of value would most likely end up here anyway) I can say the last six mos or so have been tremendously refreshing so to speak. In full disclosure, I browsed it yesterday for the first time in that six month period and actually saw that docfrezza post...other than that I got a few chuckles from some of the usual suspects and that was that as it confirmed I haven't missed anything from that board other than having gave up some valuable time when I use to be on it. Did they ever change back to when you reply the topic gets moved back to the top? I didn't stick around long enough and didn't sign in to bother to check it out lol.

Can anyone here vouch for docfrezza? I've been curious about his credibility since yesterday. I'd love to know as well.

I read the thread last night and it seamed legit. Never know but my gut says he's real.
